Bash Script
Here is a small bash script that combines the functionality above into one file.
#!/bin/bash
JQ_INSTALLED=$(command -v jq > /dev/null)
function show_usage {
echo "Usage: ./do-list (keys|images|regions|snapshots)"
}
function query_api {
curl --silent \
--request GET \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $DO_TOKEN" \
https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/"$1"
}
function list_keys {
output=$(query_api account/keys)
if $JQ_INSTALLED; then
echo "$output" | jq '.ssh_keys[] | "\(.name): \(.id)"'
else
echo "$output"
fi
}
function list_images {
output=$(query_api images?type=distribution)
if $JQ_INSTALLED; then
echo "$output" | jq '.images[] | .slug'
else
echo "$output"
fi
}
function list_regions {
output=$(query_api regions)
if $JQ_INSTALLED; then
echo "$output" | jq '.regions[] | "\(.name): \(.slug)"'
else
echo "$output"
fi
}
function list_snapshots {
output=$(query_api snapshots)
if $JQ_INSTALLED; then
echo "$output" | jq '.snapshots[] | .name'
else
echo "$output"
